Red oxide flooring
Polished oxide floor
Born in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, South India.
How it works
Iron-oxide pigment troweled into a lime or cement floor and burnished to a seamless, jointless skin. It holds a cool surface temperature and breathes, so it never feels clammy in the wet heat.
In a modern home
A cool, jointless apartment floor that runs cooler underfoot than a glazed tile, and hides no grout lines to scrub.
What it answers
Source
South Indian vernacular finish; long-standing regional practice.
